Last week, during a visit with short-game expert Dave Pelz, I asked him if amateurs should carry a 64-degree wedge like Phil Mickelson does. His feeling on the topic? If you can hit a 60-degree wedge, you can use a 64-degree. In either case, you have to accelerate, and the 64-degree wedge makes the...
Unless you’ve been hording Golf Magazine since 2002, you’ve probably let all of the best tips just slip out of consciousness once you tossed the issue away. To be honest, I read over most of them, too, without a second thought. I once had a friend call me out: “How can you read all those go...
Last week I unloaded my Fantasy Golf woes on you, faithful reader (is it plural yet?)

I've been writing about golf in Hilton Head and the surrounding area for more than a dozen years. If I had a sawbuck for every time I craned my neck rightward while heading east towards the island on US 278, to see what was doing at Rose Hill Golf Club while passing by, by now I would have accumulat...
The cornerstone of empiricism is observation. In his new book It's All About Impact, golf instructor and author Andrew Rice begins with a few basic observations. One is that golf swings vary rather dramatically, even among professional golfers, and even among the top 25 players—both male and fe...
Actually, the draft is tonight at one of our favorite watering holes. I'm just using the art of positive thinking regarding my selections for 2010. I'm also letting you know that I did win the big prize in 2009, in addition to one of the side pots (thank you Henrik Stenson for winning the Players Ch...
The Super Bowl is fast approaching. If you can't get to Miami for the game, no big deal. You know the real action is in Vegas, guys.

When I first heard of Tiger Woods car accident today, my first thoughts were for his health. Then, after learning he's fine and already home, I started thinking what fantastic news this is for all of us. You see, for years, Tiger Woods has thwarted our ability to roundly mock him. The dude never ...
